The extraordinary wisdom of the Jews
Second, in medieval anti-Semitic Europe, Jews were forbidden to work in agriculture and government departments, forcing Jews to engage in high-IQ business and finance, and Jews intermarried among high-IQ Jews, which accelerated the improvement of IQ of future generations.
Third, Jews must rely on intelligence to survive in a general anti-Semitic environment, so Jews attach importance to knowledge and wisdom.
4. The average IQ of German Jews is higher than that of ordinary Jews. Escape plan: The smartest or richest German Jews are better prepared for the threat of genocide such as escape, survival, trial, holocaust, persecution and Nazi Holocaust, because they can: 1) afford the cost of immigration; 2) Be able to judge what needs to be done next; 3) There are socio-economic opportunities for them to flee between countries. Poor, alienated and stupid Ashkenazi Jews can only wait to be mercilessly abandoned. 5. Disease and high IQ: Ashkenazi Jews were tortured by a large number of degenerative diseases, which actually improved their overall IQ. Familial amaurotic idiocy's disease, Gaucher's disease, Niemanpick's disease and cerebrosidosis are all diseases of sphingolipidosis, and those with repeated pathogenic genes can lead to serious diseases or death. However, people with only a single copy of the disease-causing gene will strengthen the process of growth and help strengthen the connection between brain cells. The second fat storage disease of Ashkenazi Jews may stimulate the expansion of neurons in DNA repair genes. (1) Orthodox Judaism and conservative Judaism define whether a person is Jewish according to whether his mother is Jewish (the mother gave birth to a child). If his mother is Jewish, whether her children believe in Judaism, Christianity or atheism, her children are also recognized as Jews. Israel's unification law adopted this standard.
(2) The definition of the Jewish minority Karaism is the opposite. Karaism holds that the father is Jewish and his children are Jewish. Because the number of Jews belonging to Kara Sect is very small, there is the possibility of extinction in the future.
(3) Liberals and reformers believe that as long as one of the mothers or fathers is Jewish and raises children according to Jewish customs, their children are Jews. First, ancient times
The ancestor of the Jews was Jacob (pronounced Yael Cooper in Arabic), the son of Isaac and the grandson of Abraham (pronounced Ibrahim in Arabic). Later, his name was changed to Israel, which means "a man who wrestles with God". Moreover, because he hurt his hamstring while fighting with God, Jews had to pick out his hamstring and throw it away when slaughtering animals.
Jacob had 65,438+02 sons. Because of Yue Se, he moved to Egypt in the second year of the seven famine years. It was favored by Egypt's first 15 and 16 dynasties (about 65,438+05th century BC) established by the Xikosuo people who ruled Egypt at that time, and lived in the lower reaches of the Nile and became an agricultural nation. After Sikhs were driven out of Egypt by Nubian riots, the status of Israelis dropped sharply and became slaves of Egyptians. They fled Egypt under the leadership of Moses (pronounced Moussa in Arabic) and returned to Palestine to settle down. The descendants of Jacob's 65,438+02 sons formed twelve tribes, which were separated in Palestine and later unified into one country. Saul of the tribe of Benjamin first ruled for 40 years. After that, David of the tribe of Judah became king. David's name means "Meng Ai", and the Israeli state reached its peak during the reign of David's son Solomon (called Suleiman I in Arabia).
After Solomon's death, his son Rehoboam succeeded him. Because of his harsh policy with a group of young ministers, 65,438+00 tribes in the north separated and established the kingdom of Israel alone, and elected Jeroboam, the son of Nibal, as king. The Jewish tribe and the Benjamin tribe jointly established the Jewish kingdom. The kingdom of Israel was quickly destroyed by Assyrians, and the Jewish kingdom persisted for hundreds of years. Later, it was finally captured by the Babylonian Empire, and the people were taken to Babylon as slaves.
After the Persian Empire destroyed Babylon. Jews were allowed to return to the ghetto and rebuild the temple in Jerusalem, and later became subjects of the Greek and Roman empires. By the 1 century, Samaritans and Jews had no contact. Shortly after the death of Jesus, Jews revolted against the Romans, Jerusalem was attacked by the Roman army, the temple was demolished, and Jews were forced to live all over the world, calling themselves Jews.
Second, modern times
After the Jews went to all parts of the world, their languages and customs gradually assimilated with the local residents. However, in order to maintain national independence and adhere to their own religion, they still wrote in their own Hebrew characters. In Italy and Spain, the Jewish language is assimilated, and writing in Hebrew letters is called "Latin Novo"; Jewish in Germany and Poland is Yiddish; Jews living in China don't eat pork because of their religious beliefs. They were mistakenly called "Blue Hat Hui" and "Tuli Hui" by China people, and gradually confused with other Hui people, so that they completely lost Jewish beliefs and customs for a long time and turned to Islam. Although the contents of the Christian Old Testament are almost the same as those of Judaism, the Christian New Testament expands the contents of the Old Testament to a certain extent and makes Christianity and Judaism different to some extent.
Third, modern and contemporary.
/kloc-At the end of 0/9 century, thousands of Jews fled here due to the intensification of persecution in Eastern Europe, most of whom went to the United States, Canada and Western Europe. By 1924, * * * about two million Jews had immigrated to the United States, because the attitude of American society towards the Jewish community was relatively more tolerant than that of Eastern Europe. The persecution of Jews in Europe finally reached its peak in Nazi Germany, and a massacre of about 6 million Jews took place, which almost destroyed all the cultural and historical deposits of Jews in Europe in 2000.
The State of Israel, founded in 1948, is the first Jewish state established in nearly 2000 years after the destruction of Jerusalem by Rome, which artificially revived the official spoken Hebrew. However, the location of Israel's founding is in the Palestinian area, which intensifies the conflict with Arab Palestinians who have settled there for a long time, makes the Middle East a hot spot in the world, and puts nearly 900,000 Jews who originally lived in Arab countries in trouble.
By the beginning of 2 1 century, the United States and Israel were the main Jewish settlements.
Before the founding of Israel, the proportion of Palestinian Arabs in Palestinian areas accounted for the vast majority, while Jews only accounted for 6% in 1948. Due to the war and the expulsion of the Israeli government, by 2009, Jews in Israel accounted for 76% of the total population, 19% were Arabs and 5% were other nationalities. Because the birth rate of Jews is lower than that of Arabs, and Jews immigrated from Israel to Europe and America, the Israeli government is worried that Jews in Israel will no longer account for the majority of the population in the future. After wandering around the world for nearly two thousand years, Jews intermarried with local people, which made the skin color of Jews diversified, including white Jews, yellow Jews, black Jews, and sub-skin Jews in India and Latin America.
On the right is a yellow Jew who just immigrated to Israel from India. Yellow Jews live on the border between India and Myanmar, with a population of only 9,000. Jewish patriarch entry: Covenant of circumcision
Circumcision (cutting off the foreskin of a baby boy) is a popular traditional Jewish religious ceremony, which is called "brit" or "brit milah" in Hebrew. Mocher is the executor of circumcision. If the baby boy is not sick or has other health problems, Mohan will circumcise the baby boy on the eighth day after birth. In the process of circumcision, Mohan will make a speech to announce that the baby boy has implemented the law, and then the parents of the baby boy will make a speech to show that their son has been included in the contract between God and the Jews and officially name the baby boy. According to Genesis17,9-14, God commanded Abram to circumcise himself, his male descendants and his servants as a permanent contract. According to Halaka, the oral law of Jews in the Middle Ages, those who do not observe circumcision will be regarded as karet, which will lead to the punishment of being isolated from God. For Jews, it is of sacred and special significance for a baby boy to be circumcised on the eighth day after birth. This nation attaches great importance to knowledge and has been training children in memory since they were one and a half years old. The Jews began to teach their children to read the Old Testament as soon as they spoke. The purpose of Jewish education is to serve the future. Jewish education should cultivate the next generation who can create the Jewish future and realize the Jewish dream. In the eyes of Jews, it is just an overprotection for parents to miss educational opportunities because they are worried that their children don't understand.
In order to plant good seeds for children, Jews let them learn to remember. Therefore, it can be said that Jewish children have consciously carried out memory training since they were one and a half years old. When they were three or four years old, they began to study in private schools. Every child who has just entered the classroom will be warmly applauded by everyone, making him feel that learning is happy; It is said that in every Jewish home, when the child is just sensible, the mother will open it and sprinkle a drop of honey on it, and then let the child kiss; Honey is on the table. Then, the mother will tell her children that books are sweet.
Jews believe that the earlier education begins, the better, so children begin to think completely at the age of four. At that time, adults will tell children that there is no right answer in the world, so don't stick to one idea, because there are many other ways of thinking. At the same time, memory training continues. Children should remember all the Old Testaments when they are five years old. The Old Testament is a great classic, and it is very high to remember it all.
